Louella’s Sweater

I was so lame and forgot to get a picture of Louella’s sweater before I gave it away. And now it FITS her, so she was so nice to model it for me last night.

She makes a pretty good model, no?

It’s good to sometimes see that the things you make actually fit real babies. Sometimes my proportions are all off, since I don’t have a baby to gauge things by, I don’t always know what works…

I just am totally in love with the top.

I’m just so glad to see that it will actually get some use from a real live baby! And a cute one, at that!

Purple and White later tonight.

I don’t normally get this much done at a craft night.

But it’s coming together nicely! I can’t believe that I knit this in five separate pieces and without even trying the stripes lined up perfectly! I have no idea how in the world that happened.

I kind of forgot buttonholes until I was already halfway done with the 2nd front half. Soo… guess this one is going to have toggle buttons or something? I haven’t quite gotten that far. So, now all I need is to block it, weave in the 10,000 loose ends (Stripes! Why do I even knit in stripes! It makes SO many more ends to weave in!), figure out buttons! And then it’ll be done!

A new sweater and other things

I started this new sweater on Thursday. I am excited about it, you’ll know why when I’m done.

It’s purple and cream. I love purple and cream!

Also, I got a jade plant to go into my succulent garden on the front stoop.

I haven’t potted it yet, but I’ll get around to it one of these days. But I can’t spend any more time outside right now because of this:

No, it’s not cloudy. Nope, it’s not foggy. It’s smoke and dust. It’s disgusting. And it makes it extremely hard to breath for me.

Anyway, we’re trying to keep indoors and keep the air clean inside our humble abode.

Starfish

So I was just jumping around Ravelry the other day and saw a lot of cute sea creature patterns, so I decided to make some more sea creatures for Ezra!

I’ve got a lot more patterns in mind, but I am in the middle of a Starfish right now.

He’ll get cuter, and fatter.

Octopus finale

So, here is the best toy I’ve ever made, I think. He’s not as cute as the lamby or whatever, but he’s so much fun. And all these legs!

I really, really like this guy.

He likes to climb on my plants.

I’m sad that I have to give him up.

But I know that Ezra will enjoy him.

(the bottom end. Sorry Bess, there’s no beak!)

Little octo! I’m pretty pleased with him. What do you think?

Octopus

I am halfway through making an octopus, but I haven’t done much other knitting lately, so there’s not a lot to show. My thumb has been a real pain lately, so I haven’t been doing a lot of knitting.

He only has 4 1/2 legs so far.

He sort of looks like a hand right now, which is creepy. But I think once he has his other 3 1/2 legs he will look more like an octopus, also he’ll have a face, too. That’ll help.

Red Sweater

I guess I never showed the finished product of the infamous red sweater! So, it’s huge. Like, could almost fit around me! I mean, it’s stretchy, so it wouldn’t look GOOD on me, but I might be able to button it. Anyway, here it is.

It’s sort of sloppy looking.

Well, I haven’t seen it on a kid yet, so it’s hard to tell.

Anyway, it definitely will NOT fit the kid that I made it for(long and lean), so they got something else. So, it’s basically up for grabs. I’d love to see someone get some use out of it, because this thing was a LOT of work and I’d hate to see it just sitting in my craft room.

SO! If you want it, let me know! This is BETTER than a giveaway, because the first person to claim it gets it. I’ll even ship it to you, free of charge. See how nice I am?

Giveaway! (For real this time!)

So, this one didn’t quite turn out how I wanted him to, but hopefully you will still love him! So here is the giveaway!

He is a long-lanky Lamby! I made the legs and arms a bit too long!

(And behind him you can see the only two plants that survived our vacation! I forgot to get someone to water them, so only the succulents and our cactus survived!)
